Month: October 2018

The unveiling of the cyclops-clad Sea Dweller last year arrived as a big surprise, as did the elegant Cellini Moonphase, and we have no doubt that the industry’s biggest “heavy hitter” has more hotness ready to satisfy collectors and fans around the globe. The brand has already been teasing that something new on a jubilee bracelet is on its way in the past few weekends, fueling ample speculation of what direction that might go. After a reasonable amount of debate, we’ve narrowed down a list of the new releases we’re looking forward to seeing this week.
The same way the replica Rolex made enthusiasts wait forever to finally see a ceramic bezel Daytona, the wait for a black and red “Coke bezel” GMT Master II has been longer than many have expected. Currently powered by the 3186 manufacture caliber with a 48h power reserve, recent technical advancements at Rolex would make it logical to see the GMT’s caliber refreshed in 2018. From there the new caliber could easily trickle its way into the much-loved Explorer II, and although this model also hasn’t seen much updating in recent years, it is also one of those “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” sort of best replica watches that we don’t see the Rolex messing with until a new GMT caliber is ready for the market.
Based on Rolex’s teaser clips, a new Datejust 36 with an updated caliber is pretty much a no-brainer at this point. It’s known to all that the fake Rolex intends to update all of its calibers in the coming years, and with the Datejust 41 already under their belt, the 36mm variant is next in line. As much as it would be a very Un-Rolex kind of move to see something like a Submariner or GMT-Master II unveiled on a Jubilee bracelet, we doubt greatly that our speculation on this potential Rolex release is even slightly off the mark.
Last year’s Rolex Cellini Moonphase with pointer date garnered far more attention than most Cellini models ever do, considering the line has long lived overshadowed by its more iconic siblings. This warm reception continues to fuel speculation that there’s more to come from this underdog collection, not to mention that other more out-of-the-ordinary vintage Rolex models continue to gain traction in the vintage market.
The standard Yacht-Master received an update in 2015 when Rolex revealed it for the first time on its slick Oysterflex Bracelet, but however, the Yacht-Master II has only seen what could be called minor tweaks with its update last year. Objectively speaking the model is now 11 years old, and is due for some proper change. That is to said, the buy replica Rolex isn’t always that quick to the punch with this sort of things, so we aren’t entirely sure that this would make it down the pipeline for 2018.
